M.E.N.D. STILL GOING STRONG - FOOD BANK, CLOTHING, SHOWERS, REFERRALS

We first posted on M.E.N.D. in 2011. We recently gave several newly homeless people we met the recommendation to go to Meeting Each Need with Dignity - M.E.N.D. for showers, clothes, food, and more. Operating without any government funds, we still think this is one of the best local resources for homeless people. The other day we met a fellow from the South who has been out here homeless for two years. He just got his free government cell phone and is looking for work in construction but needs eyeglasses. We told him to go to M.E.N.D. to get new glasses.

To get there from the North Hollywood Red Line Subway Terminal area, take the 224 bus north, from Burbank Olive area, take the 794 bus north. Stay on the bus and watch for the small airport to the right, and then Pierce Street and the huge sign to the right that says. M.E.N.D.

OUR INTENTION

THE UP AND UP

Our blog focuses on Southern California, the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernadino, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Ventura, Riverside, and Imperial, though we keep an eye on the entire state and whatever is happening around the United States.

To bring up information you need try word searches such as "AIDS" or "Santa Monica" or "Homeless Children" to bring up posts with those tags.

There are dozens of links for Southern California within the blog! The sidebar will retain links that are NATIONAL.
